For as long as I can remember I have looked askance when I hear politicians refer to their adversaries across the partisan divide as their “good friends.”<\/p>\n

The once-famous “friendship” between Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and former Democratic Sen. and Vice President Joseph Biden only reaffirms my skepticism about personal relationships among politicians.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen that famous viral video of Sen. Graham tearing up as he describes Biden, saying that if you “can’t like Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem.” He speaks of his enduring friendship with Biden, his politeness and his graciousness.<\/p>\n

Well, these days Graham is singing a different tune about his one-time friend. He says now he intends to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, once the Senate impeachment trial of Donald John Trump concludes.<\/p>\n

Graham chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee and I guess he wants to find corruption involving the Biden men, about Hunter’s employment by the Ukraine energy company and Joe Biden’s involvement \u2026 whatever it entails.<\/p>\n

The former VP has said he doesn’t understand what has gotten into his pal Graham. He says he thought their friendship was thick.<\/p>\n

I guess not.<\/p>\n

This so-called “friendship” is proving to be as flimsy and see-through as any policy pronouncement that flies out of the mouth of, say, Donald John Trump.<\/em><\/p>\n
